Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Saturday said it accepted the ICC's decision to replace its national team with Scotland in next month's T20 World Cup, saying there is nothing more they could do now. The ICC on Saturday confirmed that Scotland will replace Bangladesh in the next month's T20 World Cup to be jointly held in India and Sri Lanka. The ICC was forced to make the late change after Bangladesh remained fixated on their stance that it was unsafe for their players to travel to India for the T20 World Cup, even after an independent security assessment ruling out any specific threat. BCB media committee chairman Amjad Hossain said the Bangladesh Board tried its best but knew ICC “will not do it” or “do not want to” in terms of meeting his country's request and there was “nothing more” they could do. “We have tried our best. We fully respect the ICC Board, and the Board's majority decision was that the match cannot be relocated,” he said. “Even after that, we...

Americans stripped supermarket shelves Friday ahead of potentially "catastrophic" winter weather that threatened at least 160 million people across the country with transportation chaos, blackouts and life-threatening cold. The massive storm system was set to drop a mix of freezing rain and heavy snow starting Friday evening on its days-long march across the continental US. The storm could bring "catastrophic ice accumulation," the National Weather Service said, potentially causing "long-duration power outages, extensive tree damage, and extremely dangerous or impassable travel conditions," including in many states less accustomed to intense winter weather. After battering the country's southwest and central areas, the storm system was expected to hit the heavily populated mid-Atlantic and northeastern states -- stretching from New Mexico to the Eastern seaboard -- before a frigid air mass settles in. More than 2,700 weekend flights have already be...

Ishan Kishan justified his national recall with a sensational 32-ball-76 while captain Suryakumar Yadav scored his first fifty after 23 innings as India decimated New Zealand by seven wickets for a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20 series in Raipur on Friday. Ahead of the all important T20 World Cup, it all seems to be falling in place for India with Suryakumar (82 not out off 37) overcoming a prolonged lean patch and Kishan emerging as a destructive top-order enforcer. India were expected to chase 209 on a belter of a pitch but not with such ease after losing Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson by the second over of the chase. Suryakumar and Shivam Dube (36 not out off 18) closed out the game in a canter as India gunned down the target in 15.2 overs. Full-member teams chasing down 200-plus targets with most balls to spare - 28 balls - India vs New Zealand in Raipur (Target: 209) 24 balls - Pakistan vs New Zealand in Auckland in 2025 (Target: 205) 23 balls - Australia vs West Indies in ...

India has not missed the artificial intelligence (AI) bus and there are several opportunities available for the country's companies, which can help enterprises make use of the technology at scale, Wipro Executive Chairman Rishad Premji has said. Speaking exclusively to NDTV CEO and Editor-In-Chief Rahul Kanwal on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, Premji emphasised that the people most at risk of losing their jobs because of AI are those who do not adopt the technology. AI fluency, he insisted, is going to be critical for any kind of employment going forward. To a question on what AI will bring in 2026, the Wipro chairman said organisations will leverage the technology more and more to serve their businesses and their customers.  "I think the language models don't have enough context and in-depth understanding of the workflow of individual organisations...
